Attribute-Based Collusion Resistance in Group-Based Cloud Data Sharing using LKH Model

Abstract

Utilizing cloud computing, users can avail a compelling and effective approach for information sharing between collective individuals in the cloud with the facility of less administration cost and little maintenance. Security in cloud computing refers to procedures, standards and processes created to provide assurance for security of information in the cloud environment. In this paper, we project a secure data sharing method in cloud for dynamic members by producing keys for users using Logic Key Hierarchy (LKH) model, i.e., a tree-based key generation technique. We have generated this key using reverse hashing and one way hash-based technique so that no exiled user can predict the new key and new users cannot predict the old keys of the network group. From numerous experiments, this work is proved to be the best in maintaining forward secrecy, backward secrecy and group compromise attacks and consumes less computation cost compared to any other hash-based key generation techniques.
